"Poverty"?

The Development of the Orshansky Poverty Thresholds and Their Subsequent History as the Official U.S. Poverty Measure - U.S Census Bureau


Please explain what you mean by "poverty".

That's not really quite the truth. If they immigrated legally, I have a deep respect and I can admire them.

It's the 12 to 20 million that came here illegally from S.O.B. that make me want to puke. They suck up
more resources Than this nation can provide..

Good grief. No one is going to read this link. What is it anyway....way too long. Poverty doesn't need any explanation. It means you are poor.

"Poor" is a relative term.

To say more people were poor in the 1950s than today we need a consistent standard by which to measure poverty.

Sorry if that hurts your head.

Oh please. Most catholics back then didn't even know when they could or could not get pregnant because it was never discussed.

Even if they support Marxism?

Even if they support limiting the 2nd Amendment?

Even if they vote for the most Anti American Leftist?

If they support the same failed views and politics that made their home nations unbelievable they should not be let it..

What happened to this country, everything that's bad, falls in the lap of the left. This is what they have been pushing for since the 30's.

This country is just fine overall.
